Légende

'Wren's Plan for Rebuilding London', (1897). After the Great Fire of London in 1666, Christopher Wren was among several people to draw up plans for a new capital city. Wren's vision, with piazzas and boulevards in the French style, was not used, however, and London was rebuilt according to the old medieval street plan. Places marked here include the Tower of London, Customs House and Billingsgate on the River Thames, the Guildhall and the old Roman walls. From Old and New London, Volume I, by Walter Thornbury.
